Prayer for Dead Dog I have no idea how it happened. One day he was fine, the next day he was gone. It would be an understatement to say that I’m heartbroken. It still doesn’t seem real. As I write this, I just want this to all go away. But it’s not going anywhere; dead dogs aren’t known for their ability to vanish into thin air. It’s strange, how even though the word “dead” is in the above sentence, it doesn’t even feel real yet. It feels like a bad dream that I’ll wake up from at any moment, with him sitting beside me as if nothing had ever happened. If only . . .
Before you read any further, I want to tell you that the story I’m about to tell you is extremely graphic. It’s not suitable for children and might upset some people. The dog was put down after this happened. I hope it serves as a learning experience for animal owners in general, as well as a cautionary tale about what can happen if disaster strikes unexpectedly.
This is a short novel about a girl – named Mia – who’s dog dies unexpectedly. The number one question she asks is: Where did God go when her dog died? This girl decides to find out where God has been and how she can get in contact with Him.

Dear Father in heaven, we come to you now with a problem that is beyond our control. Our dog is dead and we don’t know what to do. She was such a good animal and she never did anything wrong.

Dear Lord,
I am writing to humbly ask for your help and guidance. I have lost my beloved dog and I am heartbroken. She was the light of my life, her name was Bella and she was a Boxer/Pitbull mix. She was the sweetest dog in the world, always happy to see me when I came home from work and always knew how to cheer me up when I was down. There is a hole in my heart that will never be filled again. Please help me deal with this loss as best as possible so that I may continue living my life and be happy again. Thank you for hearing my prayer, God Bless You and Amen
Prayer for Dead Dog
Dear Lord,
I come before you as a broken woman. I am beyond heartbroken. My baby girl is gone, and I cannot imagine life without her. My husband and I have been married for 15 years, and we have never been through anything like this. We have always had a great marriage and a beautiful family. We have 4 children, 2 of which are still at home with us. They are completely devastated by the loss of their little sister. We were so excited when we found out that she was pregnant with our first grandchild. She was due in August, but she died shortly after delivering her baby girl on July 22nd at 6:03 am. She was only 2 months old when she passed away from complications related to her birth.
I ask that you comfort me in this time of grief so that I may not fall into despair over the loss of my beloved daughter and granddaughter who were taken from this earth far too soon. Please guide their souls into heaven where they will wait until it is their time to be reborn into your kingdom once again so that they may live on eternally with you as your angels among us
Dear God:
We ask for your blessing on our beloved [dog’s name], who has passed away. We thank you for the time we had with her, and we pray that you will allow her to rest in peace. We ask that she know that she is loved, missed, and remembered.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen
Dear God,
I pray that you look after my dog who has passed away. I know he is with you now, and that he is happy, but I miss him so much. Please help me to move on, and to remember all the good times we had together. Thank you for this gift of life, which I will treasure forever.
Amen

prayer for a dead dog
Dear God,
Please help me to understand why you have taken my dog from me. I know he was only a small dog, but he was very dear to me. He was always there for me, and he loved me so much. I have never been happier than when he would prance into the room and greet me excitedly. I know that you must have had a reason for taking him from this world before his time, but I cannot help but feel lost without him. Please give me the strength to move on with my life and the wisdom to understand what you are trying to teach me through this trial.
Amen
God, help me to grieve the loss of my dog.
I know that You are with me in every moment of my life, and so I ask You to help me to feel Your presence now.
I ask that you would give me the strength to heal from this pain, so that I may be able to love again and experience joy.
I know that this is a time for mourning, but please help me not to dwell on the past or to focus on what might have been.
Instead, let me live each day with hope that You will bring something good into my life today.
Help me to completely trust You and allow myself to feel whatever emotions arise as I walk through this difficult time.
Catholic Prayer For A Dying Dog
Dear Lord,
We come to you in prayer for our dog. She has been a faithful member of our family for many years, but now her health is failing. Please give her the strength to face her final days with courage and dignity. Please comfort us as we say goodbye to our beloved friend. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
We’ve all been there. Your dog is old, sick or hurt and you want to help him or her pass peacefully. But what can you do?
A prayer for dying dogs can be a powerful tool in helping your pet leave this life with grace, dignity and peace. It’s also a great way to show your love and appreciation for your faithful friend’s life.
Here’s a Catholic prayer for dying dogs that you can use if you’re religious or just want to express your gratitude:
Lord God,
You have blessed me with the gift of my beloved animal companion. I ask that you watch over him/her during his/her last moments on earth, and welcome him/her into heaven when he/she passes from this world. May he/she rest in peace until we meet again in heaven; through Christ our Lord. Amen.”
O Lord,
I beg you in your great mercy to forgive me my sins and to help me avoid sinning again.
Please send your holy angels to watch over me and my pet dog during our final moments together.
May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
I have a dog that is dying. I’m not sure how to pray for him. Does anyone have a prayer that they say when their dog dies?
I will be praying for my cat who died last night and was euthanized this morning because he had kidney failure. I’m so lost without him. He was such a good friend and companion for the past 17 years.
I lost my beloved cat last week after 18 years of being together. He had been diagnosed with liver cancer about three weeks before he passed away, and his condition deteriorated quickly over those few weeks until he stopped eating and drinking altogether, which was the day before he died. It was very difficult to watch him go through this, but I know it was kinder to put him down than let him suffer any longer than necessary. He was only one year older than me, so it’s still difficult to believe he’s gone, but at least he didn’t suffer too much before going peacefully in his sleep on Sunday morning while I was at work!
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen.”
“I bind these white vestments upon you in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
